An incoming queue where data destined to a respective mobile terminal is buffered, is created for each of a plurality of mobile terminals. The scheduler is configured to execute, based on queue information and system constraint information, a resource scheduling algorithm that jointly decides on the allocation of PRBs, Physical Resource Blocks, to each of the links between a RAT and a mobile terminal, on the assignment of modulation levels to each of the allocated PRBs, and on the activation/deactivation of each RAT.}, title = {Multi-connectivity scheduler for a multi-rat system}, author = {García Saavedra, Andrés and Díez Fernández, Luis Francisco and Agüero Calvo, Ramón and Li, Xi and Costa Pérez, Xavier}, }
